[ANN] Blacknet BLN | Staking | Future of zApp & ZeFi

[hacksmash]

Am excited to see this community growing up
exhibiting first signs of becoming adult,
realizing you can choose a king to rule.

Lot's of things to do, lot's of opportunities for all
rat4 had a commit in Lore too, everyone is welcome.
feature HF, network monitoring, testnet, ios, csv..
coders, advertisers, writers, market makers,
doing this alone will not work.

much more communication is needed as it grows, not less


So choose node and stake

https://chainz.cryptoid.info/blk/#!network

network has 129 nodes with version 1.2.4
12 Lore nodes with version 2.1.12
9 nodes with version 1.2.5

Lore will notice if it's blocks are in majority and the path has been choosen..
It can even follow the next blackcoin blockchain, but with no info, no code,
no message.. it can't.

I am not so sure about the idea of a King per se as Blackcoin seems much more organic than that, and should continue in that way.
I suspect it is along the lines of: The BLK Community does not know if we have permission to evolve past rat4's lead.
I believe we do, and in his own way, rat4 has been guiding BLK to this self-deciding moment.
His code inspired many and his opinions will, in future, continue to be listened to & respected.
But he has either been forced to withdraw from the project, or chosen to do so, for now.

Since my entry to BLK, I have always felt janko33 & Gritt-N-Auld have had BLK's best interests at heart.
I trust them ... AND HOW THEY MOVE THE PROJECT.
I will continue to follow a Blackcoin that is under their joint leadership. (yup, that's a proposal)
janko33 brings awesome code to the project, while Gritt-N-Auld's voice brings continuity and direction to the community.
From what I have seen & experienced here on bitcointalk, the pair of them are either of one mind on many issues, or are able to 'talk out' issues well.

I just updated my staking node from 1.2.4 to Lore. I think that if we want Lore as a main wallet, you have to remove "Beta" label from the blackcoin page as it can only scare people off 
And patience is also very important as many people are
- lazy as hell 
- not informed regularly about latest news
There are still many nodes on 1.2.2 and older

Choose a node and stake!

There are no kings, community must govern itself in the end.
Meanwhile more coders, more adverts, more communication is needed
to be able to grow, not less.

That's the main issue here.

Communication with rat4 deteriorated:

We tried to speak to him about this a year ago. We stopped getting responses, we know he is getting them as he selectively responds, we are talking about when this should all take place now. It was only when Janko brought up that he will be forking Blackcoin for new updates that he came back.

It can't work like this, I have very little hope this will change.
Lore will notice if it's blocks are in majority and the path has been choosen..
Lore can change if there is more communication, more info, code anything..

Choose a node and stake!

Making me tear up almost .

Alright here is an update:

- I have contacted a few of the top 50 wallets
- Contacted exchanges (except for smaller ones and Poloniex)
- Explained what is happening on Gitter
- Explained what is happening on Telegram

Needs to be done:

- Talk to QQ groups
- Update website explaining what is going on and that Lore needs support
- Update Blackcoin social media

All show support for Lore. I gave them background on what has been happening and reading materials that they could digest and make their own judgement. Tomorrow, I will be back on QQ and contacting everyone there. This should boost up Lore numbers dramatically. Though I am positive that through the meetings tonight, that we already have consensus.

Congrats Janko!

Readed an interesting conversations on this page. Looks like Blackcoin is awakened by people with fresh minds who are really transparent about their plans.

What is the best source where I can read more about Lore?

[janmb]

rat4.just say something.we need your word for blackcoin's future.i don't like fork.

[STT]

The best solution is probably the most distributed, not reliant on one factor or person for continued success.  Thats the overall nature of crypto I think and we see greater problems where too much control falls to too few like happened to BTC transaction fees, mining etc.   Its throttled itself unfortunately.

I would look through the links on the OP for more discussion, this thread is quite lightly posted sometimes

Congrats on joining the Nuggets team Joshua. I got an e-mail today and already thought I recognized that guy lol.

Wallet update v1.2.5
It's just a few small fixes since previous release.
It is the final update of original wallet. Future developments will move BlackCoin to a new blockchain.

Awesome  work! Waiting your new blockchain Blackoin!

[r_victory]

I downloaded Lore yesterday, I haven't synced yet. It's good to see that the community is committed to keeping BLK alive. I met Blackcoin 2 years ago and it's one of my favorites. Faster transactions, no waste of energy, Blackcoin is the future. I am anxiously waiting for all difficulties to be resolved, good communication is the basis of everything.

[lkyasilk]

I am really happy with BLK. Bought 1BTC worth tokens around 2700-3000 sats and long hold my Bag. Hope BLK will ready to moon in 2018. Lets take profit with BlackCoin

rat4.just say something.we need your word for blackcoin's future.i don't like fork.

Don't fear a fork, rat4 and the community have already conducted multiple hard forks in the past and I'm certain it can be done again. Not moving forward is not really an option if Blackcoin is to remain relevant and be able to move to bigger and better things in the future.

[Sootss]

rat4.just say something.we need your word for blackcoin's future.i don't like fork.

I understand that rat4 opinion is something to take into consideration but we are giving him countless opportunities to speak and he has said almost nothing. Janko has been leading Blackcoin development for a long time and that kept the community and the coin alive. We all know the mastermind rat4 is but we need something more than those cryptic messages that don't explain enough. Anyway, why the fuck wouldn't you like a fork? There has been a few forks already in Blackcoin and everything went as smooth as planned. A fork doesn't mean that there are gonna be more than one Blackcoin, the fork is intended to implement new functionalities on the coin and bring the possibility to keep development going. THE FORK IS NEEDED and must happen.

i am excited to join the BLK community, the project is awesome and really undervalued compared to a lot of crap out there, i found out about BLK reading qtum's whitepaper which states that they are using BLK POS!!!!

so i understand there are 2 wallets , the original and the new Lore in which you can send your BLK coins and stake?

i want to stake so  the newest lore wallet is the best option?


regards to the community and everyone contributing to this amazing project

Both can stake, but I'd recommend Lore as it's newer with more features

[STT]

Theres also Blackhalo which can stake and a ton of features including security, multiple keys and all sorts.   Spoilt for choice tbh  Blackhalo.info

I get what he is saying, theres soft fork and hard fork.   The most positive is not to split the user base any because that might do more harm then good possibly.    If theres positives and advancement in the fork then fair enough, naturally people are apprehensive about division though

Blackcoin already had hard forks and everything went fine with no user base split. A user base split is not something that can happen if exchanges, top wallets, and the community support the same chain. Everything is being done publicly and under the maximum consensus possible, this is not gonna be a fork where two factions fight to get more support.

Meanwhile great day to have stocked up on more BLK
